Other Interests
I play harpsichord and organ. I'm building a replica of the 1736 Hemsch harpsichord (on display at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts) in the MIT Hobby Shop (article and project blog). I do an extensive amount of audio/visual work on campus installing and updating systems. I like building things, and if I were to switch majors it would probably be to Course 2 (Mechanical Engineering).
